Enjoy the Taste of Your Wine More With Help From Wine Aerators

If you're a fan of red wine, then you'll want to be certain that you have wine aerators in your home. Wine aerators are multipurpose items that are available in a variety of styles, but some attach to the top of your red wine bottle and help create an even flow during the pouring process and aerate your wine. Aerating red wine adds air to your wine as you pour, allowing your wine to "breathe," which helps to release its full taste and smell potential. Some wine decanters also work as aerators, so you get the gorgeous style of wine decanters, plus the benefits of wine aerators. You can also find aerators that work as wine preservers, which preserve your wine after opening. These wine preservers fit into the top of your wine bottle and, with each pour, aerate the wine. The remaining wine is then sealed in the bottle, keeping it fresher for longer.

Serving Wine in Your Home

Wine is meant to be shared and enjoyed, so make sure that you have great home items to help you through your next wine tasting event or dinner party. Start with your glassware. When serving wine, it's essential to have the right glasses for the style of wine you're serving. White wine bottles are typically thinner than red, with a skinnier opening that helps enhance the scent of your white wine. Red wine glasses generally have a bigger bowl and opening as these wines benefit from oxygenation. Sparkling wine varieties are served in skinny glasses, like champagne flutes. The long, skinny design of these glasses helps to preserve the lifespan of the wine bubbles and enhances the way it feels on your tongue. For a mix of glassware, bring home a convenient stemware set that will set you up with many of the glasses that you'll need.

And if you're unsure of what to grab next, don't worry, the wine shop is here to help.
